  • Edward Hopper, Landscape, and Literature
    Edward Hopper, Landscape, and Literature Gail LEVIN The art of Edward Hopper, the American realist painter, contains many clues that allow us to trace his interest in literature, which in turn helps to characterize his particular brand of realism. １） Signs of Hopper’s engagement with literature emerge already in his boyhood. Born in 1882, Hopper grew up in Nyack, New York, a town on the Hudson River, some forty miles north of New York City, where he went to attend art school and lived as an adult, until his death in 1967, shortly before his eighty-fifth birthday. Among the early indications that literature affected Hopper is a plaque that he designed for a Boys’ Yacht Club, which he formed together with three pals. Hopper designed this plaque with the names of the members’ boats. While the other boys chose female names that were upbeat and innocuous, Edward’s choice, Water Witch (Fig. 1), telegraphs an effect of reading on his imagination. He took the name for his boat from The Water- Witch, James Fenimore Cooper’s 1830 novel that tells how the “exploits, mysterious character, and daring of the Water-Witch, and of him who sailed her, were in that day, the frequent subjects of anger, admiration and surprise.... ” ２） His boyhood interest led Hopper to build not only a sailboat but a canoe. Later he would remark, “I thought at one time I’d like to be a naval architect because I am interested in boats, but I got to be a Fig. 1: Edward Hopper, Water Witch on painter instead.” ３） His interest in nautical life sign, Private Collection.

  • With His Art and Legacies Edward Hopper
    Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Dergisi, 2020, Cilt 2, Sayı 2, 173-184 WITH HIS ART AND LEGACIES EDWARD HOPPER Ufuk ÇETİN1 Abstract The works of Edward Hopper, one of the most important artists of America in the 20th century, are universal. Its impressive content is emotionally explained to the lives at the contemporary audience. He illustrates moments and more significantly, characters nearly every viewer can instantly know. There is no ambiguity inside Hopper’s works in a visual cultural way. He impacted lots of artists, photographers, filmmakers, set designers, dancers, writers, and his effect has touched many artists like Rothko, Segal and Oursler, who work with different mediums. He is an interesting artist in the way of impressing nearly all photographers from Arbus to Eggleston. Including Mendes, Lynch and Welles, generations have been inspired from Hopper’s dramatic viewpoints, lighting, and moods. His painting, “Residence by the Railroad” (1925) stimulated Alfred Hitchcock’s house in Psycho (1960) as well as that in Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven (1978). This article introduces the artist with some examples of his personality and samples from his works. Hopper’s paintings are attractive to some writers and musicians. For instance, Tom Waits made an album known as “Nighthawks on the Diner”. Also, Madonna selected a name for a live performance tour after Hooper’s “Girlie Display”.

    Rhetoric and Redress: Edward Hopper‘s Adaptation of the American Sublime A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Fine Arts Rachael M. Crouch August 2007 This thesis titled Rhetoric and Redress: Edward Hopper’s Adaptation of the American Sublime by RACHAEL M. CROUCH has been approved for the School of Art and the College of Fine Arts by Jeannette Klein Assistant Professor of Art History Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts Abstract CROUCH, RACHAEL M., M.F.A., August 2007, Art History Rhetoric and Redress: Hopper’s Adaptation of the American Sublime (80 pp.) Director of Thesis: Jeannette Klein The primary objective of this thesis is to introduce a new form of visual rhetoric called the “urban sublime.” The author identifies certain elements in the work of Edward Hopper that suggest a connection to earlier American landscape paintings, the pictorial conventions of which locate them within the discursive formation of the American Sublime. Further, the widespread and persistent recognition of Hopper’s images as unmistakably American, links them to the earlier landscapes on the basis of national identity construction. The thesis is comprised of four parts: First, the definitional and methodological assumptions of visual rhetoric will be addressed; part two includes an extensive discussion of the sublime and its discursive appropriation. Part three focuses on the American Sublime and its formative role in the construction of

  • The Mind in Motion: Hopper's Women Through Sartre's Existential Freedom
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXIV(1) 2015 WANG The Mind in Motion: Hopper’s Women through Sartre’s Existential Freedom Zhenping WANG University of Louisville, USA Abstract: This is a study of the cross-cultural influence of Jean-Paul Sartre on American painter Edward Hopper through an analysis of his women in solitude in his oil paintings, particularly the analysis of the mind in motion of these figures. Jean-Paul Sartre was a twentieth century French existentialist philosopher whose theory of existential freedom is regarded as a positive thought that provides human beings infinite possibilities to hope and to create. His philosophy to search for inner freedom of an individual was delivered to the US mainly through his three lecture visits to New York and other major cities and the translation by Hazel E. Barnes of his Being and Nothingness. Hopper is one of the finest painters of the twentieth-century America. He is a native New Yorker and an artist who is searching for himself through his painting. Hopper’s women figures are usually seated, standing, leaning forward toward the window, and all are looking deep out the window and deep into the sunlight. These women are in their introspection and solitude. These figures are usually posited alone, but they are not depicted as lonely. Being in outward solitude, they are allowed to enjoy the inward freedom to desire, to imagine, and to act. The dreaming, imagining, expecting are indications of women’s desires, which display their interior possibility or individual agency. This paper is an attempt to apply Sartre’s philosophy to see that these women’s individual agency determines their own identity, indicating the mind in motion.

Clark Fund) 2014.79.23 ENTRY In a vast expanse of open sea, a catboat heels gently to starboard as it navigates a course that has brought it close to a bell buoy. [1] Under feathery cirrus clouds and a brilliant blue sky, the boat’s three passengers and pilot gaze at, and presumably listen to, the buoy’s bell, which tilts toward them as it crests one of a sequence of rolling waves. Although Edward Hopper is renowned for lonely urban scenes that have led his work to be understood as emblematic of the mood of the modern city and the isolation of its inhabitants, he was also a dedicated painter of nautical subjects. Born in Nyack, New York, Hopper spent his formative years sketching the maritime industry of this bustling shipbuilding port on the Hudson River. [2] From 1930 onward, Hopper and his wife, Josephine “Jo” Nivison, whom he had met in art school, spent summers painting in Truro, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. In 1934 they built a cottage in South Truro; Ground Swell was painted in the adjacent studio.

  • Edward Hopper and the Discourse of Anti-Urbanism
    Social & Cultural Geography, Vol. 3, No. 2, 2002 Fear of the city 1882–1967: Edward Hopper and the discourse of anti-urbanism Tom Slater Department of Geography, King’s College London, Strand Campus, London WC2R 2LS, UK This paper traces the extent to which some of the major cityscape representations of the American ‘Realist’ painter, Edward Hopper, have contributed to the production and articulation of the discourse of anti-urbanism in American culture. Following an introduc- tory background to this discourse, the paper discusses the development of Realism in American art, and how the urban representations that emerged were a response to the rapidly changing, early twentieth-century American city. A brief biographical account of Edward Hopper is presented to explore the intertextual inuences behind his anti-urban sentiments, and how these translated into the unique form of Realism for which Hopper is renowned. This sets the stage for a reading of four key Hopper works that are suggestive of the anti-urban discourse: Night Shadows, Nighthawks, Approaching a City and Sunday. The powers of representation and the artist’s popularity have fed into the discourse of anti-urbanism—a discourse that has a material effect on urban life in America. Key words: discourse, anti-urbanism, cityscape, Edward Hopper, representation.

The exhibition, organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in partnership with the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, explores the ties between Hopper’s work and the industry and built environment of hospitality. As the exhibition makes plain, Hopper, who was a frequent traveler, was deeply familiar with hotels, tourist homes, motels, and other hospitality services, such as luggage assistance and restaurants. Hotels and their dualistic trappings of mobility and rest, and of isolation and community, figure prominently in his work.

Cartographic Styles and Discourse Mapping Edward Hopper: Jo Hopper as her husband’s Cartographer Gail Levin * City University of New York Abstract Josephine Hopper’s two hand-drawn pictorial maps of South Truro and Cape Cod link art and cartography. She made them to introduce the places she shared with her husband, Edward Hopper, to collectors who bought his painting of a site she mapped. Her mid- 1930s maps have little regard for accurate scale, showing artistic rather than technical style. They feature landmarks, both natural and constructed, from either Edward’s or Jo’s paintings, or both. The style of her maps resembles both contemporaneous American and turn-of-the-century pictorial maps of Paris.
